Getting the time line from Premiere pro cc 2018 to After effects timeline cc 2018?

[Jackfilm]

Hello everyone, I hope you can help me,

          I have opened my Premiere Pro project in After effects to finish it off. But it has sent over the footage and everything else except the timeline, it remains blank.

I have tried the COPY and PASTE as it used to be, however, I am unable to do it and I have read in your forum that you can no longer do that.

I would like not to do Dynamic link 30+ times, but simply finish it off in after effects. And I would like not to redo the whole timeline again because I don't have the time.

Both programs are up to date and my computer is not a pig.

Could you please give me some suggestions on how I can move my timeline from Premiere to After effects.

Thank you

Hello Jackfilm:

Being able to copy and paste a clip from PR to AE or AE to PR is a newer feature that's still around.

Try this:  Select all of the clips in your PR Sequence that you want to send to After Effects, then right-click and choose Replace with After Effects Composition.

If you already have an AE project open, those clips will get sent to it along with a Comp.  If you don't have AE open, it should launch and create a new project for you.

Hello Warren, thank you for your input.

1 giant Dynamic Link may not be the best course of action for my situation. I find keeping these links for long periods of time troublesome and sometimes can cause all sorts of tiny problems.

The reason I say the copy and paste option is now out. Is because I came across a discussion in this forum from 2017 where someone else had the same problem. The reply was, is that there was a problem in the new updates and that we just had to wait for them to fix it.

They apparently haven't.

However, if you have found a way to do it, I would love to know how. I have tried to drag it across and copy and paste it but it just won't happen.

Could you please walk me through how you did yours.

Thank you
